Just learned that I posted the #42 parse (now #43 since last night) among frost mages for BH10. It's not really a boss to brag about, but I think it's cool to be ranked on that site. It's kind of like being in the newspaper. My mage's name is Klunk (Nevermore, Gurubashi).

Not bad considering I don't even have 2T11 yet. Still saving VP for the tier legs. It'll be a while longer before I get a chance at the other two pieces, since our raid progression is slow.

So, does frost now currently beat fire out completely? Just surprised I don't see more hoohahah going on about frost on any of the forums.

Single target, yes.
However the amount of encounters where this doesn't apply is larger than you think. Any fight with even two targets is enough to make fire's DPS higher than frost's, as long as you cast living bomb on both targets.
A more detailed encounter list would be:

Fire:
Basically every boss in BoT
Conclave depending on if you are killing the plant adds
Magmaw
Maloriak
Nefarian(?)

Frost/Arcane:
Al'Akir
Omnitron
Atramedes
Chimaeron
Nefarian(?)

I am not sure where Nefarian goes because you can keep LB ticking on Onyxia in phase one and Nefarian in the air in phase two, but it may still not be an improvement over single target through the whole of phase three.

I also don't know what spec is necessary for the 13th super secret heroic only BoT boss because I haven't read the tactics for it, will be a long while before my guild get there

For Frost what trinket would be best to stick with Darkmoon: Volcano....Bell of Enraging Resonance or Theralion's Mirror?

I think you want to get as close as possible to that 33,3% soft crit cap, correct me if i'm wrong. So I think bell over mirror, but I'm not all to sure about this cause INT seems to pwn all stats nowadays, by far even :P

Mirror wins, despite the crit cap. Int is indeed king.

This guide will be updated, as little as it needs, when I'm done playing around.

No, it was taking all crit modifiers into the calculation. This is slightly worrying depending on if it can be confirmed and when Blizz intends to fix it...

Wait. Are you sure about that? I remember that shatter always took molten armor (including the glyphed bonus just from testing it) and raid 5% buff into consideration. When people tried to somehow 'calculate' the real crit suppression, I'm sure they were also considering the fact that the 5% debuff isn't trippled. ._.

It was a rumour being circulated as people thought that the debuff not being multiplied made sense, but it was shown that it indeed was working with shatter.

Well it isn't now. Was sitting at 23.35% crit pre 5% buff+5% debuff, and I ended up around 10-15% short of crit cap for FFB and IL. It sucked, but what sucked worse is realizing that Frost still has a lol35 yard range, which forced me to respec since doing H AC with a 35 yard range is suicidal.
